1. How would she reach the 6th (or 7th?) Watchtower through his dreams? Wouldn't that just be a dream version? Isn't it in the Abyss?
2. If she signed her name to a Watchtower, wouldn't that make her a Mage? Or a weird Mage-Changeling hybrid?
3. If she signed on the soul-eating Watchtower, why not have her simply eat souls? Perhaps via Dreams, because, you know, Changeling and all.
   1. Having your dream-form killed can trigger the Soul-Shocked Condition, right? I'd think it being done by a nascent soul-eater might lead to more permanent consequences.

Well, if they can damage the Vampire in those forms, they can still drain Willpower or deal extra damage....

[Vent0]

Well... dreams are usually easier to come by than souls. It is either going to have minimal impact (only affecting a single target over a prolonged span of time), or it is going to need to upgrade that to eating the capacity for dreams as well (at least for a time). Or be an explosive breeder, or have some other sort of consequence.

What is the story goal for this?...

[Vent0]

Define "eat dreams"? Whole dreams, some of the Flora or fauna of dreams, etc?

[Vent0]

Actually, it would depend entirely on how he escaped his Durance. If done in any manner other than the Beast-Seeming's, then he wouldn't be a Beast....

[Vent0]

So, the "REVOLUTION!" firebrands are one faction, the "Infiltrate the halls of power as janitors" are another faction? Maybe a third as academics and sociologists, who identify the driving forces of society? Or general researchers who found the secret of the Conspiracies Endowment? Or just a general "talk-y" Logistics and negotiator faction that keeps the other two supplied?...

[Vent0]

I think the dots stack, like Merits would.

Effectively
Minor = 1-2 XP
Medial = 3-4 XP
Major = 5XP...

[Vent0]

Mind Spells?...

[Vent0]

Like what was in Arcadia before the Gentry (besides the Huntsmen)?...

[Vent0]

We already have Heirs to Hell, after all. And we are getting Dhampirs soon. Bring on the Scions, early-bloomer Proximi, Wolf-blooded middle-schoolers, and Goblin-kin*.

* If this isn't already in Changeling 2E, I have ideas....

[Vent0]

Here is my ongoing doc.



Well, I'd argue that the Crown Jewels target isn't the Princesses, but the Darkness. Given the mercenary spin, they wouldn't try to manipulate Princesses, just get Bequests from them. As for loyalty, they'd be more to pick up the Princess's Sworn once the Noble ends up dead (via other means/foes, of course).



Thanks. I'll try to work on the fluff elements this weekend.



They still seem very similar. Their Endowment looks unchanged, last I saw. Where are they getting their powers from, again?...

[Vent0]

What, no Influence: Metal?

And why isn't their Potency 11?
☺

[Vent0]

Love the last one.

Eternal: "Ha! I will endure as long as this stone statue, safely sealed inside this tomb!"
...
Eternal interrogating guards left outside said tomb: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT JUST 'WALKED AWAY'!?"...

[Vent0]

Or, rather, alternatively true....

[Vent0]

#Ammit: Good concept. Small overlap with Network Zero, but their goals and methods are different. They really just need a little more material to give a grasp on how they operate, and they are fine.

Character Risk Assessment: Same (except the N0 overlap). They provide a nice, non-physical approach to the Vigil.

Star of Bethlehem: Honestly, I think they could be rolled into the Talbot Group and Habibti Ma, if the former weren't also Splat-focused on different targets.

Crown Jewels: I think they should still be a Conspiracy, their Endowment being Bequests separate...

[Vent0]

I'll try specify that. Like once per day, or given motivating circumstances.



Issue with Channel Spite is that the damage could get crazy high, fast.
For Devouring Dark, I could. I was thinking of that. Though Shadows can get pretty high, making it almost unfair.
Hmm. Good point on Veil of Corruption. So make it a more stealth and Dark World excursion power?
For Bleak Oubliette, I wanted to base all (or most) of the effects based on the Nest itself, since it is basically turning the Nest's powers against itself. I could make it Shadows, and still keep...

[Vent0]

That's the idea.


Basically, yeah.


That sound closer to Aspirations, really. No need to rebrand and invent new Anchors just because, I'd think.





Well, this was more "Dimension-Hopping or Time-Traveling? This Condition is your Visa - keep it safe, because you will go home without it.". Just to serve as an umbrella tag for things out of place. Other effects can then simply key off the Condition, rather than specify what they do affect in text....

[Vent0]

As Was Foretold.

[Vent0]

Established rules/guidelines? Rather than just "some strange creature a Mage might be interested in that doesn't fall into another category"?

Niche already filled?...

[Vent0]

What about an Environment that gives guests/inhabitants supernatural power? Either Supernatural Merits, Dread Powers, of some other effect (likely fixed to a single or small group of abilities, but it being randomized could also have a niche). It could even play with the other Environments that affect supernatural power, in that the Place's own gifts aren't affected (or maybe they are - power at a price and all).

Awakened + [Place of Power] = A location offering gifts if you do what it wants, for another example. Or maybe you build a Fountain of Youth... for as long as you remain...
